Dillon is right: if spells says "X other players", you can't trigger it several time for the same player.In other words, it's useless to spend more cards to cast it several times in a 2-player game.

Can a Spell targeting “❶ other player” be cast multiple times on the same player, or on the player thatcast it?No: you cannot target yourself with a Spell like this, nor can you target the same player multipletimes. In concrete terms, this means that it’s useless to spend the cost of a Spell multiple times ina 2-player game.

TelepathyOne other player takes ❶ Action.A players takes his actions during your turn. The player must agree and be able to take theaction of his choice. The targeted player doesn’t refill his hand at the end of the current turn,but at the end of his own turn. If you make a player take multiple actions, you cannot take anaction until he has completed all of these actions. Except in special cases, the power of yourmagician can only be used during your own turn

Now hold on here. Am I missing something or is this contradictory? I thought cards that said "X other players" can only be used on another player once. So how can there be a time when telepathy is making a player take "multiple actions"?

EVERYTHING depends on where the ❶ symbol is in the spell definition. It is THAT number that is increased when you "power up" the spell.

So, in the first case (where the spell is targeting ❶ other player), powering up the spell just increases the NUMBER OF PLAYERS that can be the target of the spell. In the second case (where one other player takes ❶ actions), powering up the spell increases the NUMBER OF ACTIONS that the ONE other player can do.

BTW, not meaning to shout with the CAPS, just showing what is affected in each case.
